Handlebarsjs check if a string is equal to a value

Question

Is it possible in Handlebars to check if a string is equal to another value without registering a helper? I can\'t seem to find anything relevant to this in the Handlebars r

Answer 1

Handlebars has a conditional operator called 'equal' that takes two parameters:

1.The variable

2.what your checking if the variable contains.

For examples, to check if 'status' contains 'Full Time':

{{#equal status "Full Time"}}  //status is the variable and Full Time is the value your checking for.
    code to be executed
{{else}}
    code to be executed
{{/equal}}
